Re: HXCPM/Gladstones claimform - ANPR PCN - Overstay

Thanks EB.

Well, quick as a flash, Gladdys have replied! No time wasting this time.....

17th July 2018
We Act for the Claimant and have notified the Court of our Client's intention to proceed with the claim.

Please find enclosed a copy of our Client's completed Directions Questionnaire, which will be filed with the court upon their request. You will note we intend to request a special direction that the case be dealt with on the papers and without the need for an oral hearing.

This request is sought simply because the matter is in our Client's opinion relatively straightforward and the costs incurred by both parties for attending an oral hearing would be disproportionate. We trust you agree.

You will note our Client has opted not to mediate. Its decision is not meant to be in any way obstructive and is based purely on experience, as Mediation has rarely proven beneficial in these types of cases. Notwithstanding this, our Client would be happy to listen to any genuine payment proposals that you wish to put forward.
Yours sincerely
GS
Gladstones Solicitors

Re: HXCPM/Gladstones claimform - ANPR PCN - Overstay

you should let the court know that you need an oral hearing to cross examine their witness.

It is your right and all they are doing is trying to pull the wool over your and the courts eyes and often introduce evidence that you wont have seen and say things that arent true without offering you the chance of rebutting their twaddle.

They do this all the time but they dont knock off the £50 from their claim for the costs of attending!

DO NOT communicate with Gladdys on this, just let the court know you want a hearing and not have the matter decided on the papers.

Re: HXCPM/Gladstones claimform - ANPR PCN - Overstay

In relation to the above claim the defendant would like to bring to your attention the Claimant’s request for a special direction to have the matter dealt with on papers and without the need for an oral hearing.

Today a copy of the Claimant’s Direction Questionnaire was received, in which the above intention was made. The Defendant does not consent to this and would like to make the Courts Service aware that an oral hearing is being requested to allow the Defendant to cross examine any witness the Claimant may have.

Not entirely sure whether the words 'defendant' need to be used in this letter but have gone with it lol. Does anything else need to be said?

Re: HXCPM/Gladstones claimform - ANPR PCN - Overstay

Shorter letter saying that you object to their demand to have ther matter decided "on the papers" and you want a proper hearing where their witnesses can be cross-examined will suffice. Dont need to tell the court that today you read your post and that you intend to go for a walk later.

as for defendant- read the N1 form, the claimant issues it and the defendant responds. You are the defendant.

Re: HXCPM/Gladstones claimform - ANPR PCN - Overstay

Hello again!

Letter has been sent to court requesting an oral hearing.

Today the old man received a Directions Questionnaire, which he has completed.

On the front there is a covering letter which looks like it's addressing the Claimant....I see from other posts on this forum that this is a copy of the letter sent to the Claimant for the Defendants reference.

The letter asks for the questionnaire to be filed by 8th August Is that also for the Claimant? (looking on MCOL they've already filed theirs).....CUE QUESTIONS>>>>>>>

***Does the defendant also have to file theirs by the same date?

***Can this be done via email? I've seen the address somewhere on this forum but for the life in me I can't find it now!! So just to check is this correct? ( ccbcdefendants@hmcts.gsi. gov.uk )
